Bob White (Whatcha Gonna Swing Tonight) Lyrics

I was talking to the whippoorwill

He says you've got a corny trill

Bob White, I'm gonna swing tonight

I was talking to the mockingbird

He says you are the worst he's heard

Bob White, I'm gonna swing tonight


Even the owl tells me you're foul singing those lullaby notes

Well, he is a bring down, he never could swing down

He ain't got my high notes


There's a lot of talk about you, Bob

Yeah, they're sayin' you're off the cob

Why, that's heresy, I'll sue


Fake it, Mr. B, yeah go

Take it, follow me, Bob White

We're gonna break it up tonight


Now, here's a wire from the whippoorwill

You mean my old friend Will

Who says you got a mellow drill

Oh, ho, ho, yes, I have

Bob White, oh, ho, ho

We're in the groove tonight


Now, here's another one from the mocking bird

What does he have to say?

That you're the best he's heard

Ho, ho, ho that's too absurd


Bob White, oh, ho, ho

We really stole the light

Even the owl threw in a towel

After you sing staccato

And the flamingo hollered up a jingle

What have we brought to?


Now the consensus of opinion

Oh, ho, ho, what does the consensus say?

That you are a solid will

Ho, ho, ho, yes, I am


Sing on, Mr.B

I'm gonna swing on merrily

Bob White

We really broke it up tonight, Bob
